Grantham has had some groundworks in evidence for months, though slight uncertainty whether it was actually superchargers.

However, it was confirmed at the Clubhouse event last week that Grantham is indeed a Supercharger site; construction had apparently been delayed by multiple complex wayleaves being required, but it was said that the last one had finally been signed and construction can be expected to resume.

The tesla.com charging map is showing a Supercharger planned for 2017 in Leicester. Oddly the pin is near to the Leicester Forest East service station, but not on it, so no idea whether it's north, south or both. It's not listed on supercharger.info yet.

Most of the "coming soon" pins are indicative rather than precise locations - for example, Grantham appeared with a coming soon pin in the town centre even though we've known for months that it's at the service area on the A1. The pin then moved when it opened. Tesla have long been cagey about forthcoming supercharger locations: this was explained to me that they have too often had sites fall through at the last minute from a whole host of reasons, so they like to keep relations warm with the 2nd choice site in an area even when they've made the decision to go with the 1st choice.

However, in this particular case the Welcome Break website gives the game away - they say "Leicester Forest East (North and South)" so it's both sides.
